Well, I was planning a trip down to Grenada this week but that's been put on hold. I recently had one of my pedestal posts break off about 3 inches above the base plate, nearly tossing me into Arkabutla. I finished the trip perched atop a cooler running the trolling motor. I got home and tried to remove the stub from base plate (pipe wrench) without any luck. So I decided to just get a new base plate and post and replace. I get the drill out and start unscrewing the screws and they won't come out, they just spin in place. I assume there is some sort of toggle on the underside holding the screw. So I tell myself, "I'll just retighten for the time being and figure something out later," except they won't retighten. Have any of you guys ever come across this problem? If so, what's the best approach as far as getting the screws/base plate out and replacing? I have new seats, posts and bases ready to install. Help!
